Cox Decompression Distraction Manipulation Technique

Cox® Technic is a non-surgical, doctor-controlled, hands on spinal manipulation performed with the patient lying on The Cox® Table. The table permits the effective administration of flexion-distraction and decompression adjustment and manipulation. The goal of Cox® Technic is to help the spinal pain patient go from “pain” to “no pain” as quickly as possible.
Well-researched and documented, flexion-distraction and decompression helps relieve spinal pain and return patients to their desired quality of life by:

Dropping intradiscal pressure

Widening the spinal canal foraminal area

Reducing pressure on the spinal nerves

Returning motion to the spinal joints

Evidence-based Cox® Technic is appropriate for conditions causing low back and leg pain as well as neck, arm, and pelvic pain. It also reduces pain attributable to:

Disc Herniation

Slipped Disc

Ruptured Disc

Facet Syndrome

Stenosis

Spondylolisthesis

Headache

Degenerative Disc Disease

Whiplash-type injuries

Persistent pain after back surgery

Scoliosis

Osteoporosis

Pregnancy back pain

What is a Cox® Technic Treatment Like?

After undergoing a thorough examination that leads the doctor to a specific diagnosis of the spine condition to be treated.

The patient lies face down on a Cox® Table

Tolerance testing is performed prior to the application of Cox® Technic to ensure that the treatment will not further aggravate the condition

In delivering the treatment, the physician concentrates on one vertebral motion segment at a time

The goal is to reduce stenotic effects by dropping intradiscal pressure, thus allowing disc reduction, an increase in the size of the intervertebral foramen, and a reduction of pressure on the dorsal root ganglion and the exiting nerve root
